Für Royal-Fans ist der Besuch der State Rooms, die im Sommer geöffnet sind, ein Muss. Der Eingang ist beim Gate C an der Buckingham Palace Road (siehe Map auf Foto). Mir persönlich hat der Palast sehr gefallen. Leider konnte man wegen Renovationen nicht alle Räume der Tour besuchen. Am eindrücklichsten waren für mich der Ballroom und der Throne Room, das sind schon Highlights. Es ist empfehlenswert, die Tickets vorab online zu kaufen. Der Audioguide ist inklusive und liefert interessante Informationen. Drinnen kann man sich alles in Ruhe ansehen, es gibt kein Zeitlimit. Fotografieren/Filmen ist in den Innenräumen allerdings verboten. Immerhin darf man Fotos von der Gartenanlage und der Rückseite des Palasts machen, so hat man doch wenigstens noch ein paar Erinnerungen für später. Nervig fand ich, dass ich meinen normal grossen (aber für mich doch schweren) Rucksack während des Besuchs der State Rooms in der Hand halten musste, während viele andere ihre ebenso grossen Handtaschen normal tragen durfen. Es war nicht mal erlaubt, den Rucksack wie eine Tasche an nur einer Schulter hängen zu lassen. Diese Ungleichbehandlung verstehe ich nicht. Es empfiehlt sich jedenfalls, nicht zu viel Gewicht (insbesondere nicht zu viele Getränke) in den Rucksack zu packen.

Underwhelming. We paid 35£ each and the tour takes a mere 30 minutes even though we listened to everything on the digital guide. It was crowded and stuffy, no pictures allowed, the guide always said "keep walking"; the information provided was either very generic or very niche about one object in the room without pretty much any context. No funny stories or remarks included. Several areas are passed through twice so it feels like you've seen about three rooms at the end. In hindsight we should have spent our money elsewhere.

Very interesting
